This is where you have to use guided logic with the students.
On a board (preferably White Board), write down:
Chassis Build Climb Wall Brainstorm/Build
Pros Cons Pros Cons
Hopefully they can come to the realization that climbing the wall won't mean much if they don't have a moving chassis. The hard part as a mentor is getting the students to understand that the chassis takes more than an hour to build and code. (Yes, it can and has been done in a day.) Or, if they think that is the case, tell them to give you that hour for the chassis and then they can go back to the Climb Wall Brainstorm.
The other thing to guide them to as a pro for Chassis Build is they can learn how to build other mechanisms and use tools, thus speeding up the Climb Wall Brainstorm.
Keep us posted on how things are going,
